Our Dining Room Transformation ~~~~the details~~~

THE CANDLE BASE IS AN OUTDOOR CAST IRON CEILING PORCH FIXTURE. I TIED A VINTAGE REMNANT OF DELICATE FABRIC AND ANTIQUE CROCHETED WINDOW SHADE PULLS AROUND IT AND EMBELLISHED IT WITH A VINTAGE RHINESTONE STAR BURST PIN. THE MERCURY GLASS CANDLE HOLDER IS ONE OF THE FEW NEW THINGS I PURCHASED.

EVERY ROOM NEEDS A LITTLE SPARKLE!

I APPLIED METALLIC PAINT TO THE FRAME AND TRIED TO KEEP THE DETAILS CENTER STAGE BY HIGHLIGHTING THEM WITH BLUE AND GREEN.

THIS CRACKLY OLD DOOR WAS IN OUR BARN ATTIC WHEN WE MOVED HERE. I LOVE THE COLOR AND AGE LINES. I WISH I COULD HEAR IT'S STORY.

About Me

I love my role as wife, mother and grandmother most of all. I love vintage items and the charm they bring to a home. Familiarity is comforting and so many vintage items I come across in my travels remind me of my childhood. Good memories associated with these familiar objects are why I gravitate to them. If given the choice, I would rather spend a morning at a flea market than at the mall!
